As a fan of Japanese selvedge AND blue being my favorite color, I’d totally rock these! Something I’d do during the break in period would be to stick to jeans for the first few wears and get a whole pack of blue socks lol
If you really want to go all out you could get indigo dyed socks too. I have a pair. Even after a few years they still continue to bleed onto the lining and insoles of my sneakers. Never tried them with my boots. Probably wouldn’t show up as much on tan leather lining
You are correct that the leather is dipped into indigo as a boot after stitching and not dipped into indigo as a whole hide. I found a couple of blogs from 2014 to 2015 detailing the process used to make the original OSB indigo boot run. It's a really interesting read on the process they use to dip and rinse the leather until they get the wanted blue hue (it turned green during the first dip, which is hilarious to me).
That green is actually just a feature of indigo, it’s actually green but oxidizes to blue. Anything dyed with indigo comes out green and goes blue in a few minutes
Wondering how these are not being talked about in fashion circles rn! Can't decide if they look more awesome paired with denim jeans or orange pants 🤔 I think indigo boots with orange pants is a real statement. Love hearing and learning about the natural indigo dyeing process. Thank you!🙏
Orange sounds interesting, but you better be ready to deal with the transfer. I’ve dyed the white collar on my thorogoods with Selvedge jeans, I imagine this will work in reverse since the boots will also bleed and will be dying the inside of the orange pants.
@@Dragon_McFluteface if my selvage jeans dye my brown 1907’s, then the blue shoes can dye green or brown pants. Indigo is crazy. I want to see the color combos though!
Those are awesome boots!!! Finally a Oak Street Video...I have 2 pairs of em and love em....and I think it would be awesome if you did videos on raw denim and the selvedge world...I just ordered my first pair of selvedge from Brave Star and I can't wait to get em. Great video!!!
i've had these boots for a couple years and they have been a unique piece in my collection. i got them back when they used Japanese natural indigo and dainite soles. i never had the kind of transfer you were showing here in fact, i would say my previous iteration was much less saturated with a lighter starting point. they quickly developed a brown, neppy, speckled appearance. i guess i've always been somewhat hesitant to put together a wardrobe around blue boots.
I think I speak for a lot of your fans when I say that we would absolutely watch a series where you explore other products that are known to develop patinas over time. I mean, we all watch you cut apart sneakers even though most of them are just foam and glue, lol. You might not attract a new audience, but you could introduce your existing audience to a product class that had previously not known about
I love this silhouette! I have a pair of their limited edition white field boots and they’re fading beautifully! Have considered the indigo pair on more than one occasion
It'd be amazing to see more raw denim goods on this channel--meshes so perfectly with boots anyways and this should be your channel to just chat without the pressure of needing to be as clickable as your main channel.
How cool. I needed new boat shoes and it was between Oak Street and Rancourt. I was looking hard at Oak Street's navy Chromexcel at $215. I ended up going with Rancourt's Read Boat shoe in natural Chromexcel. First because they'll go with more color options for pants or shorts. But second because they were on sale for $150. Both companies make their shoes in Lewiston, Maine.
Big fan of your channel for a while now. Quick note on you comment on not as much interest in denim as boots…I’m into boots now because of you and the learning I gained from your content. I’m into Denim now after discovering Behzadt and learning from him. ‘Build it and they will come.’
Indigo along with cotton and tobacco was one of the three major cash crops of the pre-Civil War south. There was big demand in Europe for its rich color and absorption capabilities with natural fabrics like wool, cotton, linen, and silk.
Opie Way used to make a pair of sneakers with selvedge denim. If you ask they might still have enough material for another pair. I own a pair and I love them.
i got a pair around year 2019. i haven’t worn them enough to comment on fading, but they are very comfortable, and look great. i own maybe 8+ of their boots. they have great customer service and all their shoes are repairable, by the maker and very comfy and unique.
I want a pair of raw denim jeans so bad, they age so beautifully. I'm sure these boots will do the same. I would love to see more of the raw denim side of things.
Oak street makes a great boot. I have a pair of service boots from them and the quality of materials & craftsmanship is really very good. I have been looking for a blue pair. This may be it.
That’s hilarious how the overdye bleeds. I have seen their releases, seems really cool. Not sure I would but this, I think it would stain all my clothes lol. I definitely want to buy a boot from oakstreet boot makers. Looks like amazing build quality.
For the price you pay, I'd expect them to make sure the heel lays flat rather than lifting off like that. I've had to return boots that had that issue since they create a pressure point when you stand in them.
I personally would love to see content about denim products. It's super easy to find videos online about the fashion of raw selvede denim and all that, but no one talks about the construction quality of the jeans and if they are worth it in the lens of durability.
Currently wearing my indigo boots from OSB. I got mine between 2015-2017. Not completely sure when in there though. My version has all eyelets and dainite soles. I really like them, though they are a unique boot that cant be worn for everything. The roughout leather tips you off to that idea though. I don't wear them hard or in instances they would get scuffed or teacored very much. So after 6-8 years of at least once a week wear they have started to have some of that natural leather peak through in the heels and toes. Getting a bit of a greenish tone. When it started I thought they just looked dirty where the dye was coming off but now that it is pushed through more they are looking much better. I definitely have some minor indigo dye left over on the inside of the boots. I dont however see any dye on the welt areas, though it could have been there at the start. I'm very excited to keep wearing these and seeing the bigger high's and low's of the indigo and natural leather. I want to try some other soles as well, the dainite have been hard wearing and fine for most things. Though I dont like them much in winter as they slip more than expected, and the circles trap ice and drop it around the house when I walk in. Debating between V-Bar and Dr. Sole like these, I also have some cats paw heels I might put on these boots, I want them to go on the "right" boots. I am a big fan of this last as well. I was very worried about them looking too bulbus before I got them, now they just seem great shaped. My outside toes stay straight for longer than normal and this last helps a lot for that. Sizing: I am a 12.5 on my left foot, 12 on the right. I got a 12D and it fits great to me.
Weston, speaking of sock staining, inasmu h as you have many Red Wing Iron Ranger vids, I don't recall you saying that they also will stain socks just like many PNW logger boots do. I have the 8084 black IR and the socks will not come clean in the wash. What does get them clean is Dawn, hot water, and a scrub brush!
I have 3 pairs of their boots and love them!! Quality is good. Leather of course is Horween! What else can you say. I would definitely compare them to Truman of which I have around a dozen pair of! Solid , dependable boots! I have only good things to say about them! Glad to see you finally cover them!! Still waiting on you to cover Truman though!! Great work
Oak street boots look amazing. I love raw denim for one of the Sam reasons as leather. Watch them get better with age and putting the work in yrself. Satisfying
I have a pair of Grant Stone Ottawa's in midnight suede. It's a deep navy and the color does not rub off in my jeans or my dress slacks. It's the best navy blue suede boots. You should take a good look at them.
Fun fact. you know shoe factory's, when you go to the assembly line and head over to the toe lasting area . You generally see big old steamers, steaming the hell out of uppers, steam is really good for this because it adds heat to the upper and moisture. Shoes last better when they're hot and moist. So yeah if this indigo gives up its die easily then I suspect that that heating steaming process would be enough to cause that overall bleeding of dyes to stitches etcetera..... hot and moist. :)
i'd love to go through the process of learning about dying and raw denim with this channel. i've had my eyes on naked and famous for jeans for a while and they've got some really crazy indigo dyed jeans that look incredible.
Jump in and go for it! The Naked and Famous Left Hand Twill are a great way to start. Measure and measure again though, sizing is always interesting especially as they have a bunch of fits.
I would love to see some videos of raw denim and garment construction from you. I have learned a lot about boot construction and leather from your channel while being supremely entertained at the same time. Clothing would be a great addition :)
Thank you for reviewing OSB; I like their boots. I have the Field Boot true-to-size; they feel a little roomy but nice, and I also have the Trench Boot a half-size-down, and they feel a little snug but pleasant. So, I guess what I am getting at is that the Elston last is very accommodating. You can play with the fit and still get a solid and comfortable boot.
@@Theheritagetribute yes I went true to brannock size & probably could have gone a half size down. But I do have a narrow foot, so that might not work for everyone in this last.
I’ve recently gotten into the raw denim kick. And just quality clothing in general. It might be expensive, but taken care of properly; these things will last.
I own a pair of the made in the USA Thursdays in Indigo dyed Horween leather and I love the colour. They aren't a rough out though, but I haven't had any socks turn blue at all.
Love indigo dyed product and boots. Such a great combination! I understand the hesitancy to do an Indigo video but, you would make it worth it and insightful and a great viewing. You are one who goes above and beyond about product you like so, I am sure it would do well
I got these in their other pattern, the Field Boot. Definitely blued my white socks. They're probably still transferring indigo but I've only been wewring darl socks so I don't know for sure.
Im realy interested how the wear will turn out, so if you dont mind wearing theme please do y follow-up video! And yeah, I do enjoy this type of content!
Would love to see more denim stuff if you're interested. Also, I'll echo what others have said, don't cut these! The patina will be super unique on these. I'm sure other trench boots are built the same and you could cut those. As a side note too, recently got my second pair of baabuk wool high tops, i love vans and these fit similar and the wool is real nice for comfort, even throughout the summer. Should check them out!

The Work Cargo pants don't go un-noticed. US made but with a good japanese style flair. A look into the Japanese world of High quality goods is always a good time.
I have four pairs of OSB Trench Boots. They are great! They are my go to casual boots. The last really is generous. They say go true to size on the website but I went down a half from Brannock-I have skinny ankles and slender feet, so I am always swimming in boots.
They say it's vat dyed, so my guess would be that they dye the hides before cutting them. The dye is dissolved in water and probably penetrates the flesh side of the leather more easily than the grain side, with the latter mostly flaking/wearing off as it's handled throughout manufacturing. The blue everywhere probably comes from the fingers of the people making the boots. I agree with the chorus that these are too special to cut up - for that there are many other Oak Street boots made from more common leathers.
In the late 60's Adidas came out with a new track show called Azteca Gold. They were dyed gold. A teammate in high school wore them to a regional meet. He got them soaking wet running because it rained that day. When he changed out of the track shoes his feet were gold.
This year is the second year that I knew about these and hesitated getting them until they were sold out. 😅 Probably the coolest OSB offering next to the USN-1 tribute replica that recently came out.
Oops , change of subject a bit. White’s Hillyard. I came so close to ordering but can’t get any confidence the will last at least 2x as long as $120 imported Wolverines. I wear leather out in toe and vamp area in 1-2 years outdoors hunting and camping. Cattails, brush and all kinds of dry grasses tear them up.
Weston didn't cut these boots in half. Here is the cobbler's view of deconstructing the boots. You can see the heel lift, heel stack, outsole, filler, and shank being removed down to the lasting board. ruclips.net/video/-NCAD7_VRVw/видео.html ruclips.net/video/1DHpGE50p_o/видео.html

What size sneaker do you wear normally? Did you size down?
Dont cut them apart. Better do a Timelapse how the color change over time.
I agree, don’t cut them!
Yes! Make a timelapse patina dome!
This please. I'd rather see how these age rather than the quality
Yes

Weston didn't cut these boots in half. Here is the cobbler's view of deconstructing the boots. You can see the heel lift, heel stack, outsole, filler, and shank being removed down to the lasting board. ruclips.net/video/-NCAD7_VRVw/видео.html ruclips.net/video/1DHpGE50p_o/видео.html

Those are badass. I’d keep em and see how they wear. Maybe buy a diff pair of their boots to cut
